the question ~ 10 whether womcn werc 70

one for the building OF church or parson-
age. Neither did it know anything of
tue letting until lumber and labor were on
the ground. 1t did agree after this to
sign contract and specifications il salts
factory. meeting was called for this
purpose, but the specifications were not
produced This was the last meeting of
the committee.
Inferior work OF the most inferior char
acter was done from the beginning. J. w.
Vernon was notified Of this by members of
the committee, and notified not TO pay any
money either on church or parsonage until
defects were remedied; to which he replied
that he would expend the money for
church purposes in accordance with his
obligations. Thus the matter went on,
and today the stills upon which the church
rests are tied together with iron rods, etc.
The committee did criticise the work
severely. 1t voiced the sentiments Of
the church, while outsiders were loud in
condemnation of the work.
Thus Mr.. Bell became heir TO the right
eous indignation of the pastor, who was in
full sympathy with J. w. Vernon. The
end was not yet, for at the last quarterly
conference Mr.. Bell insisted that w. II.
Evans acknowledge the receipt of $72. 55
paid him by the Ladies' Aid, which Evans
refused TO do, stating that he must either
count receipts or dollars Unpleasant
words passed between Isom Rankin and
Mr.. Bell, which resulted in the latter stril-
ing the former. The following evening
Bell called upon Rankin at his home,
Evans being present, and the matter was
satisfactorily adjusted.
But we deplore the fact that when the
pastor made statement to the church the
following Sunday morning tBell being
absent, Bell was misrepresented, and
his (Evans) attention being called to
that fact by Mr.. Lyman, he answered that
he had no confidence in the sincerity Of
Bells acknowledgements.
The above is written not to engender
controversy, but TO evidence that Mr..
Bell was not dissenting spirit, nor alone
in criticism; also in justice to the men,
bership of the church. These are simple
iac that cannot successfully be contro-
yerted.
Much more might be said, but we for
bear, and deplore the fact that this has
gone beyond the pales Of the church.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. l6.-Mr. Mil
ton Powell, Of Chapel Hill, was very scri-
ously injured few days since 10y a deer.
lie was in his deer park looking after some
poultry, when a'large buck rushed upon
him, knocking him down, and began to
horn him fcaHully. His cries for help
brought his dogs, which soon put
the enmged animal 10 flight.
Mrs. Jas. Slaughter, young wom-
am Of unusual sinlngth, hearing Mr..
Powell's cries, was hastening TO his rescue
when the now thoroughly maddened deer,
holly pursued by the dogs, meeting her,
rushed upon her. With GOODNESS and
bravery she seized him by his antlers and,
despite all his efforts, held him firmly.
In the meantime her husband came up,
and she ordered him TO cut the deer's
throat, which he promptly did. Mrs.
Slaughter then tainted. Mr.. Powcll's face
and throat wcrc badly cut.

Trr statement Of the Rev. DIR. L1shcr
before the Baptist National Congress yes
tcrday, to the effect that the newspapers Of
the country painted vice in alluring colors,
is wholly untrue This SOFT Of criticism has
been made before by members of the cler-
gy. Upon what they base their afirma,ions
We cannot perceive. The average news
paper reporter does just the other thing.
lie is more linbe 10 ovcrdo the horrors 81

in seductive garb. The latter is never done
in the columns Of any respectable news
paper, and disrpuiable daily newspapers
are 50 rare as 10 bc practically unknown
to the newspaper reading world. This is
a very broad assertion, but II is true. We
doubt II the Rev DR.. Lasher ever in the

in any newspaper.
